It was August and the park shimmered in the heat. A man and a woman strolled along the path, holding hands, their shoulders dappled with light. Her hair gleamed, silver-gold; his absorbed the light, black as crows' feathers. They could smell the dust of the earth and the warm wood of the trees and occasional lances of perfume as they passed flowering rose bushes.

"Let's sit down," Usagi said, passing a hand over her forehead. "It's warm..."

Mamoru nodded and they both sat down on a bench set back from the path. Usagi could feel the warmth of the wood through her thin skirt and shirt. She leaned back with a sigh of contentment, eyes closed. Mamoru bent down and took out one of the books they'd bought, flicking through it with latent curiosity. It was a book of birthdays, proporting to give the personality of someone, no matter what day they were born on. It fell open to his own, August 3rd. He smiled and then froze. His eyes stared intensely at the illustrations and the words, moving across and down.

Usagi opened her eyes and saw his absorption. "What is it, Mamo-chan?" She propped her chin on his shoulder, reading. "The Day of the Dangerous Quest... hey, that's your birthday!" She smiled. "How funny."

"It was pretty dangerous," he agreed. "But... the prize was worth it." He glanced at her with a smile.

Usagi poked him in the ribs, pretending to pout. "I'm a person, not a possession."

"Of course," he agreed. "Want to see what it says about you?"

She nodded and he flicked back to June 30th. They both stared at the entry and burst out laughing.

"Day of Motivation... I don't think we should take this too seriously, Mamo-chan," Usagi giggled.

"Maybe not," he agreed, still chuckling. Still... I think I'll keep this. It might be useful.


A.N.: This book really does exist and the dates of Mamoru's birthday and Usagi's birthday really do have those titles.
